I'm so excited to finally share the cover of DELIVER ME with you. And because I'm in such a good mood, I'm also giving away a copy for one lucky winner as well as a $20 Amazon gift card (so you can gorge yourself on books).So now, without further ado,HERE...IS...MY...COVER...

One People.
One Union. One Future.

Wynne’s
entire life is dictated by the Union: the clothes she wears, the books she
reads, even the genes she inherited. And like every other girl in the Union,
Wynne dreams of being chosen as a Carrier on her 16th birthday—one
of the elite selected to carry the future generation within her womb.
Wynne and her best friend Odessa are certain they will both make the cut, but
when Odessa is chosen and whisked off to a life of privilege, Wynne is left
behind to work as an assistant, delivering babies for the Union.

As
Odessa slips deeper and deeper into the role of Carrier, Wynne begins to see
the Union for what it really is: a society that criminalizes the notion of
love, and forbids words like mother and family.

For the
first time in her life, Wynne is faced with a choice: submit to the will
of the Union, or find a way to escape and save Odessa before she is lost
forever.

I've been busy designing t-shirts for my street team (which you're invited to join if you haven't yet) and I need help choosing the coolest design. So I'm putting the question to YOU. Which shirt would you wear?#1

As if I didn't need proof that my 14-year-old is the most awesome kid in the universe, THIS is what I woke up to this morning (the "speech" he wrote for English still on my computer screen):

For years man has been asking the same question. How do I
get a girl to notice me? We have tried everything. We tried being the funny
guy. Nothing. Being sweet and relating to the girl… nothing. We even stayed up
till three A.M. on a school night reading her favorite book. And still nothing.
Very rarely will one discover the secret… I am here to share it with you.

Girls, this part goes out to you. You are always complaining
that you are single. That you want a boyfriend. Sure, most of us aren’t
perfect. We wear basketball shorts with button up shirts. But at least we are
wearing pants. And we think it looks good, even though we all know it doesn’t. So
here is my advice, next time you see a well dressed man you better snatch him
up. Wink. Wink.

It has become obvious that the solution to both your
problems, and ours is that you should date me… I mean look at me.

When I asked women what they liked in a guy they said that
they like guys who are nice. Me

Guys who are attractive. Have you seen my hair?

Guys who are interesting. Magic.

Must I continue.

Guys who they can talk to. My ears are huge. Look at them in
comparison to my head.

Guys with common interest. I totally love the Bachelor and One Direction. And no, those jeans do not make you look fat.

Approximately three out of ten women will agree to go on a
date with me. This problem is not going to bet better without our attention. I
have come here to raise those yes’s from 3 to 9.

That is why you are all going home with my phone number.
And… a date! You get a date, you get a date, you get a date. We all get a date.

I need YOU!Yes, you...My debut book, DELIVER ME, is being released by Bloomsbury Spark on April 15th and I'm building a team of daring and devilish book lovers to help me spread the word. So, of course I'm turning to you lovely reader.As a part of my street team you'll get:

Entry into street team only contests, giveaways and prizes.

The top secret inside scoop about release dates, covers and more!

A peek inside the deep, dark corners of my mind.

Plus, bragging rights. After all, you will have helped me get my start.

Your responsibilities, if you choose to accept, will be any (or all) of the following:

Nothing takes the place of a good recommendation, so say as many nice things as you possibly can to friends and family about my books.
